As regular readers know, I’ve been a big fan of Quizizz for years (my most recent post on it was I Think Quizizz Interactive Videos With AI-Generated Questions May Become Ubiquitous In Classrooms – For Now).
They just announced a bunch of new features for this school year, and you can learn about them all by watching their brief video that’s embedded below.
The two that I’m most intrigued by are both AI-related.
One, up until now their AI feature that generates questions (including for their interactive videos) would only work on a couple of question types (like multiple choice). Now, it will work for all eighteen types of questions.
Two, their AI will now great short written responses. I should make it very clear that I think it’s generally unwise to grade student written work – I think our students deserve to have our eyeballs viewing their writing. However, it’s been a problem using Quizizz questions requiring ELL students to write in short answers (as opposed to multiple choice). A student’s answer will be marked wrong unless when you’re creating the quiz you write in every possible way you think they might write it. If I’m teaching ELL World History, I don’t want a student to have their answer marked wrong if they write “Napolein” instead of “Napoleon.” If their new short response AI feature can handle this issue, it will be a huge help to content teachers of ELLs.
